About this map

Hartsel serves as the central hub of this high-altitude landscape where the Middle Fork South Platte River and the South Fork South Platte River converge. The area is defined by a complex network of historic irrigation infrastructure, including the Reinecker Ditch, Fehringer Number 1 Ditch, and the Bathouse Ditch, illustrating the critical role of water management in this arid valley.

Agricultural history is deeply etched into the terrain through various established holdings like the Hartsel Ranch, Santa Maria Ranch, and the Colton Sheep Camp. Industrial activity is localized at the South Park Mining Company Mine, while the town's social history is preserved at the Hartsel Cemetery. The surrounding landscape is characterized by prominent drainage features such as Sevenmile Gulch and Threemile Gulch, which cut through the territory near Bald Hill.
